Doesn’t the very term “Joko History” itself imply narcissism? See, I could name two or three things that have really bugged me over the years as I have observed other bloggers that I am in danger of repeating right now: an inflated opinion of oneself (by using the calendar as a medium for re-posting, I […]
Congratulations to DustUp224, for winning the inaugural Name That Country challenge here on FriendBurst. The answer to the first challenge: THE MALDIVES… an island-chain nation just southwest of the tip of India. Dusty had a bit of an advantage in that he had actually been to The Maldives. Now, here we are on Part TWO! […]
It was a really tough room for my latest gig. I thought they’d be more attentive, but they all seemed to be really distracted by a very realistic video game that was playing on one wall. Something about “getting Geronimo”… Seriously, you’ve probably seen this picture taken at the White Hourse during the raid on […]
Sausage. Who amongst the omnivores here doesn’t love sausage? Going back to it’s origins, sausage is the respectable older sibling of the hot dog: let’s take cuts of meat that would otherwise be unpalatable to the western tongue, grind them up with a few regular cuts and stuff the results into something that is 0usable and easily cooked, I.e., intestine casings.
I have been reading a lot of caveman books lately. I’ve read two novels from Jean Auel’s Clan of the Cave Bear series, and I just finished the first book from Harry Harrison’s West of Eden series. There is something really deep down that resonates with me when I read these pieces of Stone age […]
I’ve never been much of a conspiracy theorist. Someone could give me lots and lots of evidence that the wars of today were engineered by a secret conspiracy within a hidden world government designed to keep the money flowing to the military-industrial complex, and I would still find it hard to believe. I tend to believe in Occam’s Razor, in other words, the simplest explanation for things is likely correct one.
We all gawked at the unusual and impressive machine that was parked at the Lynnwood Transit Center. Look at it! It was like a little piece of London, England had come to the Northwest and was waiting for us to use it
“That’s why it’s so good to know how to read music!” the grumpy conductor of the ukulele circle barked, “If we’re going to be using these books, we should do the music as it is in the book!”
The dozen or so septuagenarian ukulele players smiled nervously and looked at one another sheepishly, feeling quite scolded. They held their ukuleles and prepared to do the song for a 3rd time.
This is a follow up to the blog I wrote yesterday about the Rebecca Black phenomenon. I got inspired this morning to cover her song on uke and make a video out of it. I thought this might be a novel idea. Boy, was I wrong. I thought my ukulele cover of Rebecca Black’s Friday […]
The inspiration for covering this song came from my Facebook activity feed. Someone posed the question: “What is your most romantic song of all time?”… This song was my reply. To this very day, I found that listening to the Jennifer Warnes version (this song was originally written by Leonard Cohen and then modified by […]
